Jk.14 Bitter Aperitivo 1Litre

The JK.14 Bitter Aperitivo is a bold, vibrant expression of Italian aperitif tradition. Made using a carefully guarded blend of herbs, roots, and citrus, this ruby-red aperitivo captures the essence of la dolce vita in every pour. Bottled at a balanced 25% ABV, it’s ideal for mixing into classic cocktails or serving simply over ice. Crafted in Italy with passion and precision, this 1-litre format ensures you’re always ready to entertain in true Venetian style.

Aroma
Aromatic and complex, with notes of bitter orange, wild herbs, rhubarb, and a whisper of clove. The bouquet is both fresh and nostalgically old-world.

Palate
Bright, bittersweet, and beautifully layered. The palate bursts with flavours of blood orange, gentian root, and spice, balanced by a subtle floral lift and a long, clean finish. Bold enough for a Negroni, yet smooth and citrusy enough for a refreshing spritz.

Serving Suggestions
Mix with Prosecco and soda for a classic Italian Spritz, or stir into a Negroni with gin and sweet vermouth. Also delicious poured over ice with a slice of orange for an easy aperitivo at home.

Cellaring
No cellaring required—ready to enjoy now. Store in a cool, dark place and use within 6 months of opening for best flavour.

Interesting Fact
The term “aperitivo” comes from the Latin aperire, meaning “to open”—a nod to its role in opening the appetite before a meal. JK.14’s version brings a Venetian flair to this time-honoured ritual.
